Phariseer Part 2 (Revision 1579)

Walkthrough

Head to the lift and strike the crystal to go down. Destroy all the enemies in the first area then grab the Boatman Coin near the lift.

Continue forth until you find a large gate and pressure plate in the middle. Climb the ledges to the right to reach a shadowbomb pod. Destroy all the crystals to find a chest, a large pillar and another shadowbomb pod on the wall. Loot the chest then pull the pillar off the ledge using shadowgrip.

Push this pillar as close to the gate as possible. Step on the pressure plate then grab a shadowbomb from the wall. Throw it to the pillar and the explosion should push it under the gate. Move along.

The Lift

Once you reach the lift, look up to the southeast to find a Stone of Mystic on the wall. The lift has four engraved plates, each number represents the floor it can access once the corresponding crystal is hit. The numbers above the statues and doorway indicate the floor you're currently in. Ignore the lift for the meantime and continue to the east.

In this room, kill all enemies and loot the chest int the middle. There's a Book of the Dead behind the statue to the easternmost side so don't forget to grab it as well. Backtrack to the lift this time.

Dungeon Map and Skeleton Key

Hit the #2 crystal and the Phariseer will sabotage the lift, making it fall all the way down to the bottom floor. Head east first then scale the wall there to reach the topmost ledge containing a Book of the Dead page.

Backtrack to the lift and exit to the northern hall this time. Continue to the left and climb the hand-hold. Shimmy around the corner and move further a bit so you can get the Boatman Coin as you leap.

Push the nearby switch then quickly swing across the pit by deathgripping the lowering hoop. Loot the chest in the corner to get the Dungeon Map.

After getting the map, look up to find a shadowbomb pod latched on the hanging cage. Grab one and throw it to the switch. Don't detonate it yet; instead, climb the hand-hold to the south and shimmy around the corner and drop off to the starting area. Switch to your pistol and shoot the shadowbomb you placed earlier. Quickly switch to deathgrip and swing using the hoop as the cage lowers and the other raises. If timed correctly, you should be able to swing using the two of them and reach the northern ledge. Loot the Skeleton Key from the chest there.

Jump down the pit and defeat the mummies there. Climb up the wall and you'll be trapped to fight against a new enemy: the Wraith. They hit hard and they're agile, making it hard to counterattack them. Use deathgrip to interrupt their attacks and pull them closer to your weapon range.

Wraiths and a general

Backtrack to the elevator and attack crystal #3 to reach the third floor. Follow the path until you reach a large, dark room. Engage the wraiths and avoid getting surrounded since the area's tight space will prove to be a challenge for you to move about. Don't hesitate to use your skills to eliminate them quickly.

After taking out the wraiths, a heavily armed skeleton called an Undead General will appear. Don't attack it while its shield is up. Wait for it to thrust its weapon then evade to counterattack. You can also use Teleport Slash to deal damage and reposition yourself behind him, while recovering a bit of HP. Be careful not to be hindered by the pillars as you evade.

After the battle, destroy the crates in the northwest corner to get a Relic of Etu-goth. There's a Boatman Coin in the southeast corner as well.

Exit north and check the first nook to the left to find a Soul Arbiter's Sacred Scroll. Continue until you reach the elevator shaft.
